Crossword Genius

Projectile in news report (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

'news report' is the definition.
(bulletin is a kind of news report)

'projectile in' is the wordplay.
'projectile' becomes 'bullet' (bullet is a kind of projectile).
'bullet'+'in'='BULLETIN'

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Regular report" , "Brief report issued to the public" , "Regular newsletter" , "Blue lint (anag.)" , "Broadcast summary of news" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
